Mayor Murray's Housing Affordability and Livability Advisory Committee convened for the first time on November 4, 2014. Here is the data presentation committee members received as background for the work they will be doing over the course of their time together.
The document discusses affordable housing in India and defines key terms. It provides context on India's growing population and rapid urbanization, which is driving increased demand for housing. There is currently a shortage of over 18 million housing units in India. While developers have primarily focused on luxury housing, there is a need to address housing for lower-income groups. The government has launched various initiatives to promote affordable housing and achieve "Housing for All by 2022." However, affordable housing faces challenges including lack of available and affordable land and financing options.
Housing is considered affordable when total housing costs do not exceed 30% of a household's monthly income. This includes rent/mortgage payments and utilities. Affordable housing must preserve existing affordable units, make housing more affordable and available, promote diversity, and help families build wealth while linking to supportive services and balanced growth. Factors limiting affordable housing production include land and construction costs, zoning laws, and community reaction. Housing policies must promote healthy families and communities. Examples of policies include the Local Housing Allowance in the UK and rental assistance programs in the United States. While rural housing is assumed to be affordable, costs of living can be high with lower incomes.
Stanlee's presentation on affordable housingStanLee GeorGe
Urbanization has resulted in people increasingly living in slums and squatter settlements and has deteriorated the housing conditions of the economically weaker sections of the society. This is primarily due to the skyrocketing prices of land and real estate in urban areas that have forced the poor and the economically weaker sections of the society to occupy the marginal lands typified by poor housing stock, congestion and obsolescence.
In this dissertation, we will explore major issues in the development of affordable housing in India and steps taken by the Government and private sector to address them inclusively.

This document discusses challenges in providing affordable housing for the urban poor in India and analyzes the government's "Housing for All by 2022" policy. It notes that rapid urbanization has increased housing demand but market forces primarily deliver housing for middle- and high-income groups. As a result, there is a large gap in affordable housing supply for low-income groups. Previous policies like NSDP, BSUP, and RAY aimed to address this through slum upgrading, redevelopment, and public housing but made limited progress. The "Housing for All by 2022" policy continues these approaches through four pillars but faces challenges in implementation. The document aims to evaluate this new policy and recommend improvements to help achieve its
Rural housing in India faces several challenges. The majority of rural households have low and constrained incomes as opportunities for jobs and development are limited. As a result, most rural homes are small and low quality, with many lacking basic amenities like toilets and electricity. While home ownership is high in rural areas, the housing stock is inadequate to meet the needs of the growing rural population. New construction rates remain low compared to urban areas. Appropriate, low-cost technologies are needed to improve rural housing conditions and quality of life.
Urbanization is rapidly increasing in Bhutan, with the urban population projected to reach 50% by 2020, putting pressure on limited land and housing resources. This will require 17,000 additional hectares of land for urban areas by 2020, comprising 27% of Bhutan's arable land. Rapid urbanization is causing housing problems like a lack of adequate and affordable housing, poor infrastructure, and high rental costs. The causes of Bhutan's urban housing problems include a lack of proper town planning, no agency overseeing housing issues, high land and construction costs, and a lack of private sector involvement and long-term financing for housing. Addressing Bhutan's growing urban housing demands will require partnerships between government and professional organizations.

Problem of urban housing, slums and there solutionsaayush koolwal
Homelessness is a complex problem caused by several factors like shortage of housing, lack of entitlement to land and housing, and personal circumstances of homeless people. Some of the main issues that contribute to homelessness in India are shortage of housing in urban areas, lack of entitlement to land which leads to squatting, lack of entitlement to existing housing, and financial difficulties that prevent people from affording housing. While government schemes aim to provide housing, fast urbanization continues to strain resources and lead to issues like overcrowding in housing. Congestion in urban housing has negative economic, health, social and environmental consequences for cities. Various government schemes have been implemented to tackle the problems of housing shortage, but challenges remain in fully addressing issues around
The policies of urban development and housing in India have come a long way since 1950s. The pressure of urban population and lack of housing and basic services were very much evident in the early 1950s. In some cities this was compounded by migration of people from Pakistan. However, the general perception of the policy makers was that India is pre-dominantly an agricultural and rural economy and that there are potent dangers of over urbanisation which will lead to the drain of resources from the countryside to feed the cities.
Only a few markets in the MENA region are addressing their housing issues.

The document discusses affordable housing in India. It defines affordable housing based on income level, dwelling unit size, and affordability (housing costs not exceeding 30% of income). Demand is driven by rapid urbanization and a growing middle class. However, supply faces constraints like high land and construction costs. The government, developers, and financial institutions all have roles to play in increasing affordable housing through measures like subsidies, increased development rights, and loans respectively. Overall 24.71 million housing units are required to fulfill the current shortage, with over 99% of demand from low-income groups. An investment of Rs. 600,000 crore is estimated to meet this need.
Urbanization in India is increasing rapidly and is expected to house 600 million people by 2031, a 59% increase from 2011. However, India currently faces a housing shortage crisis estimated at around 19 million units. Rapid urbanization has overwhelmed infrastructure and basic amenities in Indian cities, and 66 million people lived in slums in 2011. Addressing the massive urban housing shortage requires concerted policy efforts like affordable housing schemes, land reforms, and investments in urban infrastructure to support continued urbanization and economic growth.
National Housing and Habitat Policy, 2007-IndiaJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Framing Policies remains integral part of government commitment, operations, functioning and management. Policies framed focus on critical issue facing state/country, define agenda and options for approaching them in realistic and rational manner to remove all roadblocks and create supporting/enabling environment, to achieve the goals defined in the said policies. Considering role and impotence of housing in the physical, environmental, economic and social development including employment generation, industrial growth, promoting quality of life and ensuring welfare of individuals and communities, providing adequate and appropriate housing for all has been the objective which all governments want to achieve as part of national agenda. Housing, as one of the basic/critical necessities of human living, remains most dynamic, always evolving and devolving, never static and never finite. Housing and Habitat Policy framed by the Government of India, remains the first ever housing policy which is urban centric and focuses exclusively on urban housing. Framed in the year 2007 , outlining the prevailing status of urban housing in the country including shortage of housing, policy defines the need, goal , aims besides defining the role and responsibilities of parastatal and other agencies operating at central, state and local levels to achieve the goal of -Housing for all. Policy also outlines the functions to be performed by the agencies involved in research and development of evolving appropriate construction technologies and financial institutions to ensure flow of adequate funds in the housing sector. Text also analysis, critically and objectively, the need for rationalizing the policy to make it more focused, effective and efficient.
While the supply side constraints for low cost and affordable housing include lack of availability of land and finance at reasonable rates, the demand drivers include the growing
middle class and urbanisation. Real estate developers, private players in particular, have primarily targeted luxury, high-end and upper-mid housing segment owing to the higher returns that can be gained from such projects.
This document introduces a new Housing and Transportation Affordability Index tool that models household transportation costs by neighborhood. It was created to better measure true housing affordability by accounting for associated transportation costs. The index was piloted in the Twin Cities region, finding significant differences in monthly transportation costs between neighborhoods. For example, a household in Farmington spent $941 per month on transportation versus $561 in Midway. The index is proposed to help communities, businesses, and agencies make more informed decisions around development patterns, transportation investments, and policies to improve affordability and choice.
This document discusses reasons for housing shortages, including rapid population growth, migration to urban areas, high birth rates, competing uses for limited land, and physical constraints on land availability. Population growth increases housing demand which can outpace supply. Rural-urban migration also contributes to housing shortages as migrants may not find adequate employment and housing in cities. High birth rates within cities further increase population size. Limited land must be allocated between residential, commercial, industrial and other uses, while physical factors like steep slopes constrain housing development possibilities.

This document discusses housing shortage and its characteristics. Housing shortage occurs when demand for housing exceeds supply, resulting in a lack of affordable housing. This can lead to homelessness, where people lack regular shelter and may sleep in public areas, and the formation of slums and squatter settlements, where housing is of poor quality and lacks basic services. Slums are heavily populated urban areas while squatter settlements consist of makeshift housing, often located on land without permission. Housing is considered substandard if it is made of poor, flammable materials and lacks stability, electricity, clean water, and proper sanitation. The document urges research into methods for addressing housing issues.
This report examines housing affordability in Malaysia by analyzing housing as an economic sector rather than just a social issue. It finds that past interventions have primarily focused on demand and subsidized an unresponsive supply sector. The report aims to ensure supply can meet effective demand to improve general affordability. It considers improving construction project management and firm efficiency to increase affordability. Past policies focused on controlling prices but supply-side enhancements can develop a sustainable housing sector for all. The report is the first in a series and future studies will address land, financing, and housing's role in urban development.
Housing Affordability in Metro Atlanta: It's ComplicatedARCResearch
The document discusses various ways to measure housing affordability in metro Atlanta. It analyzes data on home prices, sales prices, the housing opportunity index, and the percentage of income spent on housing and transportation costs. While metro Atlanta has relatively affordable home prices, affordability depends on factors like income, transportation costs, and whether households are renters or owners. Maps show that areas with lower incomes and higher poverty rates also tend to have less affordable housing costs as a percentage of income.
The document summarizes information from a presentation on social finance and affordable housing.

The presentation concluded by providing information on additional resources available to learn more.
The document summarizes the consequences of housing shortages in cities, including homelessness, slums, and health and environmental issues. It then discusses strategies used by cities to address shortages, such as slum upgrading, self-help housing schemes, partnering with organizations like the UN, and providing public housing. It provides examples of these strategies in places like Brazil, Kenya, Singapore, and the US. The document concludes with a case study of Singapore's public housing program and what makes housing inclusive, such as affordability, amenities, and a sense of community.
BSA Urban Design Workshop - Housing, Spring 2015BSAAIA
The second BSA Urban Design Workshop examined Mayor Martin Walsh's housing initiative with the overall goal to promote more expansive and innovative thinking about urban housing. Focusing on Dorchester Avenue, four interdisciplinary design teams created site proposals, now online for you to view. The Urban Design Workshops are supported by the BSA Foundation.
This document discusses housing shortage and its causes. It defines housing shortage as occurring when there is insufficient housing to accommodate a population, resulting in housing being unaffordable for those who need it. Signs of housing shortage include homelessness, slums, and squatter settlements. The nature of housing shortage is described as a lack of safe shelter and insufficient basic services. Shelter can be unsafe due to poor quality materials, weak foundations, and unsuitable locations prone to disasters. Basic services like electricity, water, and sanitation are often insufficient in slum and squatter settlements due to a lack of infrastructure.
Housing shortages occur for several reasons: rapid population growth through high birth rates and rural-urban migration has increased demand for housing, especially in cities. However, limited land supply and competing uses for land have constrained new housing development. As a result, many urban areas in developing countries experience overcrowded slums and squatter settlements that lack basic services and safe shelter. Cities like Mumbai, Dharavi and Nairobi have struggled to provide adequate housing for the large populations living in poor conditions in their slums. Land-scarce cities like Singapore and Hong Kong also face housing shortages due to physical space constraints.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document discusses a comparison of basic service access and disease outbreak rates between Slum City and another city. It finds that Slum City has lower access to safe drinking water and proper sanitation, and higher rates of dysentery and typhoid fever, indicating a relationship between basic service access and disease outbreaks. The lack of basic services in Slum City likely leads to more contaminated water and food sources, resulting in more cases of water and food-borne diseases.

This document summarizes key findings from a City of Seattle advisory committee meeting on housing affordability and livability:
1) Seattle is growing rapidly and must plan for housing and livability as the population is expected to increase by over 200,000 people by 2035. Existing housing does not meet the needs of many current residents and affordable housing is in short supply.
2) Two-thirds of Seattle's land is zoned for single-family homes, concentrating multifamily housing in certain areas. New housing supply alone is not sufficient to achieve affordability as demand outpaces production and rents continue rising.
3) Areas experiencing displacement typically see increases in rents, incomes, and education levels while existing assistance programs focus
The document provides data on housing affordability and demographics in Seattle. It shows that Seattle's population is growing rapidly and housing construction has increased but not kept pace with demand, driving up rents. Average rents in Seattle are now unaffordable for many working households and disproportionately burden low-income residents and communities of color. The gap between affordable housing supply and demand is most severe for lowest-income renters.
Bernard Markstein presented an overview of the US economy and construction outlook at the BONDMulti 2014 Conference. He summarized that the economy is improving but growth could be faster, and construction is also recovering but residential remains below long-term needs. Key issues for the housing market include tight lending standards, high student debt burdens, and potential changes in views about homeownership among younger generations.
The document discusses population and development projections for Sarasota County, Florida through 2040. It projects that the county's population will grow significantly from 327,000 in 2000 to 664,000 in 2040. To accommodate this growth, most new development will come from redevelopment of existing parking lots and structures rather than greenfield development. The document advocates planning for more dense, walkable, and transit-oriented development to meet changing consumer preferences and make the most efficient use of existing infrastructure.

The document discusses key trends and challenges facing cities including globalization, climate change, technological innovation, aging infrastructure, and changing demographics. It analyzes population and employment changes in various cities between 1970-2020 and investment in areas like venture capital and university research. Quality of life factors like parks, culture and education are also examined. Lessons for cities include the need for leadership, a clear vision and goals, institutional capacity, transparency, appropriate financing, land control, design excellence, and public trust in development partnerships.
Like other prosperous American cities, greater Seattle currently finds itself in the unenviable position of possessing both enormous amounts of wealth and staggering levels of homelessness.

Mayor Murray's Housing Affordability Committee: Background InformationMayorEdMurray
Mayor Murray's Housing Affordability and Livability Advisory Committee convened for the first time on November 4, 2014. Here is the background information committee members received as background for the work they will be doing over the course of their time together.
What are the Housing Needs of Our Community?MichaelSon29
The City of Westminster is updating its Housing Element to plan for regional housing needs and accommodate a new state-mandated allocation of 9,737 units by 2029. The update process involves public outreach including surveys and workshops, and will evaluate the City's housing stock, affordability, and current plans/policies to identify adequate housing sites. The City does not build housing itself but aims to facilitate private development through zoning and plans focused on areas like the Civic Center, Downtown, Beach Boulevard, and the Westminster Mall Specific Plan site. Next steps include an online public survey to gather feedback on housing needs in the community.
The City of Westminster is updating its Housing Element to plan for its regional housing needs allocation of 9,737 units by 2029. It is conducting outreach to understand the community's housing needs and identify opportunities to accommodate a variety of housing types. The update process involves several phases including outreach, needs assessment, developing the draft element, public hearings, and state certification. Residents are encouraged to participate by completing an online survey on the City's housing website. The update will identify adequate sites to meet Westminster's obligations and maintain compliance with state housing laws.
This document presents a radical new understanding of the housing bubble and financial crisis. It argues that the crisis was caused by a supply problem, not a credit problem as regulators assumed. Before 2008, housing prices in all areas increased as households moved to cheaper cities to reduce costs. After 2008, the credit shock cut prices significantly and locked many buyers out of the market. However, housing, especially low-end housing, is now undervalued and obstacles to building are pushing down interest rates. Real estate appears risky but was made volatile by a one-time demand shock, so past volatility may indicate future stability. Carefully chosen real estate investments could provide opportunities.
Do Metro Atlanta Residents Have Access to Jobs & Amenities?ARCResearch
The document examines access to jobs, housing, and services in metro Atlanta. It finds that while the number of housing options near employment centers has grown, combined housing and transportation costs remain high. Commute times in Atlanta also tend to be longer than average. However, Atlanta has a vibrant arts community, ranking in the top 15% of major metros for creative establishments per capita.
The document discusses various resources available from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) to support local development projects and initiatives. It outlines programs that provide funding for environmental assessments, brownfield cleanups, catalytic development projects, and historic preservation. Specific grant programs are described, and examples are given of projects the funding has supported. Contact information is provided for WEDC representatives who can discuss how communities can access and make use of these state development assistance opportunities.
The document discusses rising homelessness in New York City under the current mayor. It notes that the number of homeless people, families, and children in NYC shelters has increased significantly (69%, 80%, and 69% respectively) since the mayor took office. The average length of shelter stays for families has also increased substantially. The widening gap between housing costs and incomes in NYC has contributed to the rise in homelessness. While the city now spends over $1 billion annually on homeless services, policies under the current mayor that eliminated housing assistance have failed to address the root causes of homelessness. The document outlines housing-based and prevention-focused solutions that the next mayor can implement to reduce homelessness in NYC.
This document discusses demographic trends in Vermont and their implications for housing. It notes that Vermont's population is aging and household sizes are decreasing. While the population is consolidating in urban areas, workforce and affordable housing remain challenges, especially in Chittenden County. Recent efforts to build more homes have helped but have not fully addressed the need. Policies around incentives for developers, funding sources like bonds and grants, and regulations could help increase housing construction and better meet market demand and affordable housing needs across the state.
RV 2015: America's Affordable Housing Crisis: The Role of Transit by Steve He...Rail~Volution
America is facing an affordable housing crisis. Where do transit agencies fit in? A large portion of transit ridership is made up of lower-income, transit-dependent patrons. Hear how crisis has spurred innovation and how transit agencies and their partners are tackling the problem, head on: The FTA has added affordable housing to the New Starts criteria. Los Angeles Metro has set a goal that 35 percent of housing on Metro land be affordable. In the Bay Area, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission is investing in affordable TOD. Learn more about these groundbreaking efforts and join a spirited discussion of the opportunities and barriers faced by transit agencies working to address America’s affordable housing challenge.

This document discusses how understanding demographic and economic forces is important for comprehensive planning. It provides an overview of key demographic trends like changing household structures, a growing minority population, and an aging population. It also discusses the importance of evaluating the local economy by understanding key industries and how they may change. The document emphasizes that transportation must be considered as it influences the locations of jobs, housing, and economic activity. It concludes by providing four lessons for comprehensive planning: understand opportunities for change in the community; consider the regional economic context; use data to support land use policies; and plan for diverse demographics, industries, and transportation needs.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

Peace, Conflict and National Adaptation Plan (NAP) ProcessesNAP Global Network
Conflict-affected countries dealing with national defense issues, the deaths and suffering of their people, and a fragile peace environment might find it challenging to prioritize climate change action. However, ignoring their adaptation needs while striving to promote peace would be a mistake, as there are close links between climate change and fragility.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

An incomplete look
Overlaying today’s income distribution on
growth starts to tell us how much of the
housing growth needs to be affordable at
low and moderate income levels.
However, it does not account for:
• Some affordable units being occupied
by higher income households; and
• Existing unmet need for affordable
housing (for example, looking just at 0-
30% of AMI there is currently a shortage
of 23,500 affordable and available renter
units.)
Housing Needed to Accommodate Growth by Income Level
Editor's Notes
64% showed patterns that generally favored white testers. The inconsistencies included quoting a higher rent to African American testers, not telling African American testers about move-in specials, or using different screening criteria with African American testers, including credit or criminal background checks.
31 tests focused on Sexual Orientation & 9 tests focused on Gender Identity - 61% & 67% respectively, showed evidence of different treatment. Testers were not told about move-in specials, were not shown as many amenities, provided with applications, brochures or information, and were told about fewer availabilities while being quoted higher prices.
43 tests focused on National Origin - 67% showed patterns that generally favored non-immigrant testers, including quoting a higher rent to Latino testers, not telling Latino testers about move-in specials, or using different screening criteria with Latino testers, including credit or criminal background checks. Latino testers were also asked to verify their spouses employment history, and were not shown as many amenities, provided applications or given brochures.
This chart is an estimate of future housing needed on top of Seattle’s existing unmet need for low and moderate income housing.
Seattle is expected to grow by at least 70,000 households over the next 20 years. If we make a broad assumption that income distribution for new households will be the same as for households in the city now, Seattle would need at least 28,000 additional housing units affordable to low and moderate incomes.
However, this is an incomplete picture, not only because Seattle could easily exceed the expected growth, but also because it assumes that households at higher income levels never occupy a unit that costs less the maximum they can afford.
***
Backpocket notes: This chart applies income distribution for Seattle from HAMFI income estimates from 2006-2010 ACS "CHAS" data to the 70,000 net new housing units the City expects in Seattle in the next 20 years.
